Notes About The Poem

Ab Ex a Wyoming Wonder

intense intimate direct
                     all over art
arrested moments
of
the
energetic flamboyant
purpose filled
              flings

a surfeit
    of emotional energy
in controlled
          abandonment
of space & time

living
the moment
of
the unconscious unwrapped
revealed
in a harmony
           of the whole

dip and thrown
       vibrant eclectic frantic
vigour
at a fresco scale
in
the giant closeup
a horizontal
becomes
        a mural

until
    inspiration
        evaporates
into
    the ephemera
of
selfdoubt
